So far so good. Except the fact that the battery performance is pretty much the same as my Z1C... I expected more. Am I doing something wrong here?

Anyway, this is my Z3C. It's wearing a matte screen protector at the moment.

Looks great. I got the Roxfit cover free with my purchase. Not been delivered yet though.

What matt screen protector is that?

Thanks.

TheVerge - Z3 and Compact Review

Prefers the Compact to the Z3. Quite a positive review, surprisingly enough.

Anybody know how to get the persistent Google bar back at the top of each home screen? I long-pressed disabled it assuming the space can be used for something else but for the life of me, i cannot figure how to bring it back.

Cheers

Can you guys take low-light, very low-light if possible, photos? I see all low-light photos taken with the Z3 and Z3C look very bad, waaay worse than Z2.

BTW, please use SA and manual. I think it's the auto mode pushing it to very high ISO that makes low-light photos suck.

I did it too and could not find how to bring it back so I did the factory data reset and they came back,had to instal everything again.

I have been wondering this. The only other search widget is a lot bigger.

^^How incredibly frustrating. I appreciate that prior to 4.4.4 you needed a whole new launcher to remove it but surely they created a way to re-enable it? There was a message near to the tick box about "more -> settings"....teaches me for being hasty!

I get the feeling this is Sony's launcher so rather than installing a replacement, anyone come across a way of resetting it?

In the meantime, will be seriously contemplating a factory reset......wow.

This was not the only reason I did rest it,have both Z1C and Z3C and the battery on Z1C is much better.
OK it is new.
Did turn Stamina mode on and added most of my apps,but still is far from what I read and used from the Z1C.
maybe my reset will help it.
anyway if you talk about this message... here it is.

Bingo, thanks chief.

Bit of a cop-out (Sony? Google?) on resetting the launcher to get it back whereas i've read others simply have an option within the options to get it back. Beware that if anyone does clear the data as the screen says, they'll have to redo their home screen layout.

Thanks again

Yeah, thanks. It was a bit of a pain rebuilding my launcher layout but at least the search bar is back.

Does anyone find that occasionally you need to make a big 'swipe' in order to switch screens? On the odd occasion I've went to switch screens and it just bounces back to the previous
